Tins Apportioninc'iit Law of IMS, COMPARED AND CONTRASTED WITH FOfUlHR APPORTIONM ENT LAWS, The following tables have been prepared with some cure, and are believed to be accurate. The object of the oompilur ia to exhibit to tlio view of each uf his fellow citizen, tlio etVecta which have been produced by the practical application of a system of political inomlity in which " party supremacy" formed the first and tin last article of the creed, and the maxim, tho end justifies the means," was the Bole aim we r to all exception taken to any measure by which the desired result was sought to be produced. No one will deny that tlio object was sufficiently selfish and the rule of action sulueL'ully comprehensive. If no object more liberal, or no rule of action less comprehensive will account for the measure actually taken, it must be conceded that the deduction uf the rule lVum their retiulta ii inevitable. Uy tho constitution of the Slato of Ohio an enumer-ntiou of all the while male inhabitant above tweiily-one years of age is to be made every fourth year, and upon that busisiho niuuberi of Senators and Representatives are tube fixed and apportioned according to the number! of wlnto mite inhabitant. (See the constitution, article first, section Hocond to aeventb itic.lu-i vi'.) 1 pass over the mooted questions, whether one reiircssntative may be apportioned to two or more conn- tic, or to a part of a county, or a Senator to a part of a county, with uie remark, that tite tirst ins been in practice since Idol, when the first instance, occur, and that the three will be found to depend upon the sumo well known rules of construction. The primary object of the provisions of the constitution on thin subject is equal representation a far as practicable. The means prescribed was apportionment according to population of free white mule inhabitant above twenty-one years of aire, General ticket would have ensured equality, but would have deprived the voter of all personal knowledge of the candidates. Ily apportionment both could he combined sufficiently for all practical pnrpoties. A door was, however, left open for illume, because no limit wan fixed beyond winch inequalities in district should not go. bid , the literal language- of the constitution requires absolute (quality, and has no word of license, such an, as near as practicable, or the like, a consideration I leave strict cuitrHruciioriini to dispose ol at lhtr leisure. In the mean time, let u cuuio to that for which 1 look up my pen, a lew specimens ot practice under it. The freemen of the State, a all know, became divided into two great parties, and at the ession of the Legislature of lH:j."i-G and lrW.I-40, the party denominated Loeolocn (ouud themselves in a decided major ily in both brnmdics of the Legislature, and armed with the power of apportioning H'' representation of the State for the m-xi four years. They did apportion it. 1 propone to exhibit these apportionment so at to bnn ii distinctly and accurately into view, 1st, their equality with reference to population, ifd, llh-ir equality with reference to the distribution of local paity itrengih ; and lb), their results with reference to the distribution and aggregate strength of parlies in the Htate, and their rehtivu strength in each branch uf the Legislature. And fir-t, as to the apportionment of KG. The census of Klti, (see S-iiate Journal of ltfU, page Hi l.) ((ire a total uf Jito,'--"' free while male above the age of twenty-one year. The number of Senator was filed at thirty ix and that of the Representative at scyenly-two, giving a Senatorial ratio of b'.'pltl, and a llepresentilive ratio of :t,V.ii7. An election uf (joy-ernur took place in H;i, when Joseph Vance, the Whig candidate, was elected over Kit II ildwin, the Locofoco candidate, by a majority of ti.tllh. At that election forty-two coiiutie, containing a population of (,r;U free while m iles, gave majontie fur Joseph Vanre, and tbirly-tliree counties, containing a p pula lion of ll t.UKj free white males, gave majorities for l'.li It.ildwiil. At the same election, nf seventy-two Itciirescnlative elected by the same freemen, thirty-seven were Locofucos, and thirty-live were W lugs. Of eighteen Senator elected al the same time, nine were Locofoco and nine were Whig. The following table will show how this result was obtained. It shows the Senatorial and Representative district, the er of free white miles in each, and the political I presented by Locofoco. In the election of Senators in IH.lt), the Whig counties ot Treble anil luscarawas, containing 7,11111 fieemen, and giving a Whig majority of 1,114, were borne down by Locofoco countie and made to awell the Locofoco majority in the Sen 1 heir number entitled them to a senator, and their junction with tho counties of llutler and Harri- nun was unnecessary, and anoidcd a mere cover for ullowing llutler ami Harrison to elect two Senator: on a population of Sjl't freemen, whilul 1'reble and Tuscarawas were in effect disfranchised. Had the free men of tho Slate been properly represented in that body, the majority would have been exactly revered, us it wti, uy the indignation ol the people, at Ihe next session. In the House of Representatives thirty-seven Lo- cofoco represented U1!I,U77 freemen on a ratio of !'4( being lidu' below the true ratio, whereby 10,r'J freemen, a constituency of three Representatives and over, who had no existence, were represented byrf Locofocos in that House. On the other hand, thirty live Whigs in that House represented P.'lj.l-H freemen on a ratio of U.liit l, being above tlie true ratio, whereby I'iyt'tii freemen, a constituency of four lie-presentnlives and 11 ovt, were disfranchised. Had qual justice been done, the Uoiiko would have- stood thirty-nine Whigs to thirty-three Locofocos. Hut, had that been done, William Allen could not have been 'lecti d United States Senator, and Samuel Medary lould not hive been elected Stale Printer. And be sides, they could not have been in power to make the apportionment in lM, as they were. i lie artifice ol drowuini Whig countie by uniting them with Locofoco counties worked so well on a small scale in J-Mti, that it became the favorite means of converting a minority into a majority, in framing the apportionment bill of 1410, Look at and study it.

In the years H il and I H I - the Locofoco lender were left in possession of their ill-gotten lower, and tlioir abuses of it form a remark able era in the history of Ohio. Their apportionment hill in 1H4J, whereby one-third of the freemen of Ohio would have elected a majority of her representation in Congress, was too profligate to be endured, and now mat it authors, out ol power, are courting popularity, they do not blush to confess it wickedness and to ascribe their downfall to it. It roused politic indigna tion, and us the lime had come for a new apportion ment, the people in 1H 1.1 entrusted a limine of Ke pre sentations with power to put a stop to their mad career. Under their coercion, a tolerable just and fair apportionment uf representation was extorted from a Senate who saw the departure of their power with grief and rage. Ily it the people have once more re. uuied the control of their own affairs, and have again laid the foundation of public and private piospenty in institution which tho iusaneiies uf parly had de stroyed. JMow an apportionment ol repreontation una just been again iiiudo by a Legislature Whig in bold branches. Below it will bo found, arranged in tho same tabular form as the others. 1 invite a careful study uf it, and a rigid comparison of it with the others. It will be borne in mind that two method had been used in IHIIG and IrtIO for converting a minority into a majority. One was ubsolute inequality ol rep-presentation of tho freemen. This was practiced in IrtM to the extent uf&Vht'J freemen, or just oue-letith of all the freemen nf the State, in apportioning the representation in tho House. The other wih, so combining counties giving opposite political majorities a to give their own the preponderance, and thus causing Whig counties to be represented by Locofocos, This was practiced in Idiili, in apportioning the representation in the .Striate to tho extent of changing two Senators, and in HI'), in apportioning the representation in both branches to an extent which might to deprive one-fourth of all the Whig counties and one filth of nil the Whig freemen of llic State of their just representation, and to cause tluMii to increase lu that extent the L icofoco representation. There was also another feature in both those appor-! tiouiiietits, not less objectionable, which I have not before adverted to, because 1 cannot present it in the tables without rendering them loo complex to bo readily comprehended. 1 refer to the system of tloats, or rendering a number of Senators and llepresi-ntnlive migratory, whereby the party 'va enabled to Htreugih-en iheiuselve whenever a particular object wa in view. This method was liberally med in the nets nf l-tliand MID, taking the representation from Whig dwtrie.t and giving it to Locofoco district at their pleasure, and returning it when it had served it pur p.tsp.

State, withdrew from the Senate chamber, leaving the Senate without a quorum, and, organizing themselves into a distinct body, attempted tn open a negotiation with the Senate, setting at defiance, in the mean time, the efforts of the constitutional authority, to compel them to return to their duly. And they claim lo justify themselves by the example of the Whig Senator and Representative in 1H)'. If they claim their action a n precedent whvdid they not follow it? The Whig resigned their oltice and referred thu question back to the people to elect new servants under the constitution lo carry out their wishes respec. ting the matter in controversy, and when that was done they acquiesced nnd asnisled in a legal manner in the passage of the bill. Hut, these men will say, we could not resign. We passed an act of piiu and pell'iltie against it, unless approved by a majority of thi; Senate. Well, that is nothing new ; it is not the first tune lh it vindictive measures aimed at opponents have h id their first application to their contrivers. lint did they oppeal to their own law? Did they lender their resignations? Not they! Why not? Did r- Old fenr that his unn jsilitical friend would not vote to relieve him in such a pressing case of conscience, or that hi political oppmicnt set too high a value upon hi service to dispense with them ? 1 presume he might have resigned with the anient oj'every Senator, except his own. And I think his constituents would have approved. New elections could have been ordered, and the regular action of the Constitution preserved. Hut there lay the rub. That, as is evident from their pronunciaiiu'lito, was exactly what ttiey intended to prevent. A Dorr, or a .Mexican revolution was Hie olijectof their movement. Fortunate ly they have develop.. d this too distinctly tn leave any loophole for retreat. They saw, contrary to their hopes and wmIioh, a convention about to lie called to revise the constitution, and adapt it to our present and pros-p"Ctive eireuuitftancc This once accomplished in a constitutional manner would leave them without hope. Their movement defeated it.

The political raste of the counties is taken from the election for Cuvernor in HI2 At that election forty counties, containing 772, 7Si inhabitants, give majorities for Shannon, and thirty-nine counties, containing 7lii,(i70 inhabitants, give majorities for Corwin difference 2li,t"7. It was easy, therefore, lo frame a fair and honest bill. Kach party wa entitled to ten Representative and let the fluctuation of party strengtn decide th' eleventh. Now whit did they do? They frame a bill at the extra session which gave themselves tiiteeu and the Wings aix district! ! How was this done, may well be asked. Simply thus, as will be seen where several strong Whignuinlie Iny together, they formed as many as possible of lliein into one district, and in this way they formed twenly-thrci Whig coimlie, containing 4-M,'2l iiihabilauts, into six district', rout-lining I7,!l inlnlotants, or an av. erage ol 2,i" above Hie ratio. The other sixteen W hig counties, containing i"i0,!l. mliabitanl, were then so arranged and distributed umong',t twelve dis tricts as to place the in under safe Locofoco guardian- hip. In tin manner hlty-six counties, containing I.I'lH.1 1 1 inhabitants, were formed into fifteen Locofoco districts, containing 17,100 inn ihilants, or an average of 1,1 Hi be.w the ratio. The extent of frnud in tin bill was thus, four representatives in Congress at least, or one lilth of the entire rcpreseritition of the Htate.

Yet they kept their seats, and opposed only counter project ol bills, motions to auienil, argument nnd remonstrance to tho consummation of this scheme of political rascality. Had the W higs, during the session of the Legislature just closed, attempted any such outrage upon public opinion, upon me rignts ol the people, upon the ballot box, although I plead guilty to that partiality for my own parly which results front an honest conviction that their principles and their practical measures arc better, tnlinriely huttwr aalouUird to advance tlie happiness and prnerily of our beloved State than those of our political opponent, yet I would justify any peaceable means to prevent tho accomplishment of such a scheme of fraud by any party. But nothing of the kind was attempted.

VINDICATOR. TUESDAY EVENING, MAKCII 2H, 1818. Whi Apportionment. Weak the caref ul attention of candid men of al parties, to the article in this day paper, in which the apportionment law passed at the late aession of tho Legislature i compared and contrasted with former apportionments, and its justice and fairness is fully vindicated. We suggest to our subscribers to preserve) the paper containing that article, as it will bo found convenient for reference. Let it facts be well studied. A careful comparison ot this bill with the voir for Governor tn l-J-., shows thai it gave the Locofocos eleven districts certain, the Whigs eight districts certain, and the tenth and thirteenth district might bo considered as doutilful. F.lcvcn Whig counties containing 177,!(i'i inhabit ants, are included in Locofoco district, live Iocofoco counties containing iSl.ti? 1 inhabitant, are included in v tug districts, the two doubtful district have five Locofoco counties containing 7.vW inhabitant, and lour vmg coun ie containing 7.1,11 inhabitant. Tlie eleven Locofoco districts had a ratio of 7J,U:ior '.'I'jnnnn average below the true ratio. The eight Wing district had a ratio of TJJ.V or l!'7 on an average below the true ratio. One of the doubtful district had M,itH, and Ihe other 7:i,H4.'i inhabitant, and they might be fairly considered as balancing each other. This would place the representation twelve Locofocos to nino Whig, and absorbing anexcessoflti,-1 inhabitant in Whig counties into Locofoco districts. Jl id any honesty been intended this ought to have been sat is factory, but il was not listened to a moment.During the Into session the Locofocos offered no sulnittuie and moved few amendment.

The object of the oompilur ia to exhibit to tlio view of each uf his fellow citizen, tlio etVecta which have been produced by the practical application of a system of political inomlity in which " party supremacy" formed the first and tin last article of the creed, and the maxim, tho end justifies the means," was the Bole aim we r to all exception taken to any measure by which the desired result was sought to be produced. No one will deny that tlio object was sufficiently selfish and the rule of action sulueL'ully comprehensive. If no object more liberal, or no rule of action less comprehensive will account for the measure actually taken, it must be conceded that the deduction uf the rule lVum their retiulta ii inevitable. Uy tho constitution of the Slato of Ohio an enumer-ntiou of all the while male inhabitant above tweiily-one years of age is to be made every fourth year, and upon that busisiho niuuberi of Senators and Representatives are tube fixed and apportioned according to the number! of wlnto mite inhabitant. (See the constitution, article first, section Hocond to aeventb itic.lu-i vi'.) 1 pass over the mooted questions, whether one reiircssntative may be apportioned to two or more conn- tic, or to a part of a county, or a Senator to a part of a county, with uie remark, that tite tirst ins been in practice since Idol, when the first instance, occur, and that the three will be found to depend upon the sumo well known rules of construction. The primary object of the provisions of the constitution on thin subject is equal representation a far as practicable. The means prescribed was apportionment according to population of free white mule inhabitant above twenty-one years of aire, General ticket would have ensured equality, but would have deprived the voter of all personal knowledge of the candidates. Ily apportionment both could he combined sufficiently for all practical pnrpoties. A door was, however, left open for illume, because no limit wan fixed beyond winch inequalities in district should not go. bid , the literal language- of the constitution requires absolute (quality, and has no word of license, such an, as near as practicable, or the like, a consideration I leave strict cuitrHruciioriini to dispose ol at lhtr leisure. In the mean time, let u cuuio to that for which 1 look up my pen, a lew specimens ot practice under it. The freemen of the State, a all know, became divided into two great parties, and at the ession of the Legislature of lH:j."i-G and lrW.I-40, the party denominated Loeolocn (ouud themselves in a decided major ily in both brnmdics of the Legislature, and armed with the power of apportioning H'' representation of the State for the m-xi four years. They did apportion it. 1 propone to exhibit these apportionment so at to bnn ii distinctly and accurately into view, 1st, their equality with reference to population, ifd, llh-ir equality with reference to the distribution of local paity itrengih ; and lb), their results with reference to the distribution and aggregate strength of parlies in the Htate, and their rehtivu strength in each branch uf the Legislature. And fir-t, as to the apportionment of KG. The census of Klti, (see S-iiate Journal of ltfU, page Hi l.) ((ire a total uf Jito,'--"' free while male above the age of twenty-one year. The number of Senator was filed at thirty ix and that of the Representative at scyenly-two, giving a Senatorial ratio of b'.'pltl, and a llepresentilive ratio of :t,V.ii7. An election uf (joy-ernur took place in H;i, when Joseph Vance, the Whig candidate, was elected over Kit II ildwin, the Locofoco candidate, by a majority of ti.tllh. At that election forty-two coiiutie, containing a population of (,r;U free while m iles, gave majontie fur Joseph Vanre, and tbirly-tliree counties, containing a p pula lion of ll t.UKj free white males, gave majorities for l'.li It.ildwiil. At the same election, nf seventy-two Itciirescnlative elected by the same freemen, thirty-seven were Locofucos, and thirty-live were W lugs. Of eighteen Senator elected al the same time, nine were Locofoco and nine were Whig. The following table will show how this result was obtained. It shows the Senatorial and Representative district, the er of free white miles in each, and the political I presented by Locofoco. In the election of Senators in IH.lt), the Whig counties ot Treble anil luscarawas, containing 7,11111 fieemen, and giving a Whig majority of 1,114, were borne down by Locofoco countie and made to awell the Locofoco majority in the Sen 1 heir number entitled them to a senator, and their junction with tho counties of llutler and Harri- nun was unnecessary, and anoidcd a mere cover for ullowing llutler ami Harrison to elect two Senator: on a population of Sjl't freemen, whilul 1'reble and Tuscarawas were in effect disfranchised. Had the free men of tho Slate been properly represented in that body, the majority would have been exactly revered, us it wti, uy the indignation ol the people, at Ihe next session. In the House of Representatives thirty-seven Lo- cofoco represented U1!I,U77 freemen on a ratio of !'4( being lidu' below the true ratio, whereby 10,r'J freemen, a constituency of three Representatives and over, who had no existence, were represented byrf Locofocos in that House. On the other hand, thirty live Whigs in that House represented P.'lj.l-H freemen on a ratio of U.liit l, being above tlie true ratio, whereby I'iyt'tii freemen, a constituency of four lie-presentnlives and 11 ovt, were disfranchised. Had qual justice been done, the Uoiiko would have- stood thirty-nine Whigs to thirty-three Locofocos. Hut, had that been done, William Allen could not have been 'lecti d United States Senator, and Samuel Medary lould not hive been elected Stale Printer. And be sides, they could not have been in power to make the apportionment in lM, as they were. i lie artifice ol drowuini Whig countie by uniting them with Locofoco counties worked so well on a small scale in J-Mti, that it became the favorite means of converting a minority into a majority, in framing the apportionment bill of 1410, Look at and study it.

In the years H il and I H I - the Locofoco lender were left in possession of their ill-gotten lower, and tlioir abuses of it form a remark able era in the history of Ohio. Their apportionment hill in 1H4J, whereby one-third of the freemen of Ohio would have elected a majority of her representation in Congress, was too profligate to be endured, and now mat it authors, out ol power, are courting popularity, they do not blush to confess it wickedness and to ascribe their downfall to it. It roused politic indigna tion, and us the lime had come for a new apportion ment, the people in 1H 1.1 entrusted a limine of Ke pre sentations with power to put a stop to their mad career. Under their coercion, a tolerable just and fair apportionment uf representation was extorted from a Senate who saw the departure of their power with grief and rage. Ily it the people have once more re. uuied the control of their own affairs, and have again laid the foundation of public and private piospenty in institution which tho iusaneiies uf parly had de stroyed. JMow an apportionment ol repreontation una just been again iiiudo by a Legislature Whig in bold branches. Below it will bo found, arranged in tho same tabular form as the others. 1 invite a careful study uf it, and a rigid comparison of it with the others. It will be borne in mind that two method had been used in IHIIG and IrtIO for converting a minority into a majority. One was ubsolute inequality ol rep-presentation of tho freemen. This was practiced in IrtM to the extent uf&Vht'J freemen, or just oue-letith of all the freemen nf the State, in apportioning the representation in tho House. The other wih, so combining counties giving opposite political majorities a to give their own the preponderance, and thus causing Whig counties to be represented by Locofocos, This was practiced in Idiili, in apportioning the representation in the .Striate to tho extent of changing two Senators, and in HI'), in apportioning the representation in both branches to an extent which might to deprive one-fourth of all the Whig counties and one filth of nil the Whig freemen of llic State of their just representation, and to cause tluMii to increase lu that extent the L icofoco representation. There was also another feature in both those appor-! tiouiiietits, not less objectionable, which I have not before adverted to, because 1 cannot present it in the tables without rendering them loo complex to bo readily comprehended. 1 refer to the system of tloats, or rendering a number of Senators and llepresi-ntnlive migratory, whereby the party 'va enabled to Htreugih-en iheiuselve whenever a particular object wa in view. This method was liberally med in the nets nf l-tliand MID, taking the representation from Whig dwtrie.t and giving it to Locofoco district at their pleasure, and returning it when it had served it pur p.tsp.

State, withdrew from the Senate chamber, leaving the Senate without a quorum, and, organizing themselves into a distinct body, attempted tn open a negotiation with the Senate, setting at defiance, in the mean time, the efforts of the constitutional authority, to compel them to return to their duly. And they claim lo justify themselves by the example of the Whig Senator and Representative in 1H)'. If they claim their action a n precedent whvdid they not follow it? The Whig resigned their oltice and referred thu question back to the people to elect new servants under the constitution lo carry out their wishes respec. ting the matter in controversy, and when that was done they acquiesced nnd asnisled in a legal manner in the passage of the bill. Hut, these men will say, we could not resign. We passed an act of piiu and pell'iltie against it, unless approved by a majority of thi; Senate. Well, that is nothing new ; it is not the first tune lh it vindictive measures aimed at opponents have h id their first application to their contrivers. lint did they oppeal to their own law? Did they lender their resignations? Not they! Why not? Did r- Old fenr that his unn jsilitical friend would not vote to relieve him in such a pressing case of conscience, or that hi political oppmicnt set too high a value upon hi service to dispense with them ? 1 presume he might have resigned with the anient oj'every Senator, except his own. And I think his constituents would have approved. New elections could have been ordered, and the regular action of the Constitution preserved. Hut there lay the rub. That, as is evident from their pronunciaiiu'lito, was exactly what ttiey intended to prevent. A Dorr, or a .Mexican revolution was Hie olijectof their movement.

The political raste of the counties is taken from the election for Cuvernor in HI2 At that election forty counties, containing 772, 7Si inhabitants, give majorities for Shannon, and thirty-nine counties, containing 7lii,(i70 inhabitants, give majorities for Corwin difference 2li,t"7. It was easy, therefore, lo frame a fair and honest bill. Kach party wa entitled to ten Representative and let the fluctuation of party strengtn decide th' eleventh. Now whit did they do? They frame a bill at the extra session which gave themselves tiiteeu and the Wings aix district! ! How was this done, may well be asked. Simply thus, as will be seen where several strong Whignuinlie Iny together, they formed as many as possible of lliein into one district, and in this way they formed twenly-thrci Whig coimlie, containing 4-M,'2l iiihabilauts, into six district', rout-lining I7,!l inlnlotants, or an av. erage ol 2,i" above Hie ratio. The other sixteen W hig counties, containing i"i0,!l. mliabitanl, were then so arranged and distributed umong',t twelve dis tricts as to place the in under safe Locofoco guardian- hip. In tin manner hlty-six counties, containing I.I'lH.1 1 1 inhabitants, were formed into fifteen Locofoco districts, containing 17,100 inn ihilants, or an average of 1,1 Hi be.w the ratio. The extent of frnud in tin bill was thus, four representatives in Congress at least, or one lilth of the entire rcpreseritition of the Htate.

Yet they kept their seats, and opposed only counter project ol bills, motions to auienil, argument nnd remonstrance to tho consummation of this scheme of political rascality. Had the W higs, during the session of the Legislature just closed, attempted any such outrage upon public opinion, upon me rignts ol the people, upon the ballot box, although I plead guilty to that partiality for my own parly which results front an honest conviction that their principles and their practical measures arc better, tnlinriely huttwr aalouUird to advance tlie happiness and prnerily of our beloved State than those of our political opponent, yet I would justify any peaceable means to prevent tho accomplishment of such a scheme of fraud by any party. But nothing of the kind was attempted.

VINDICATOR. TUESDAY EVENING, MAKCII 2H, 1818. Whi Apportionment. Weak the caref ul attention of candid men of al parties, to the article in this day paper, in which the apportionment law passed at the late aession of tho Legislature i compared and contrasted with former apportionments, and its justice and fairness is fully vindicated. We suggest to our subscribers to preserve) the paper containing that article, as it will bo found convenient for reference. Let it facts be well studied. A careful comparison ot this bill with the voir for Governor tn l-J-., shows thai it gave the Locofocos eleven districts certain, the Whigs eight districts certain, and the tenth and thirteenth district might bo considered as doutilful. F.lcvcn Whig counties containing 177,!(i'i inhabit ants, are included in Locofoco district, live Iocofoco counties containing iSl.ti? 1 inhabitant, are included in v tug districts, the two doubtful district have five Locofoco counties containing 7.vW inhabitant, and lour vmg coun ie containing 7.1,11 inhabitant. Tlie eleven Locofoco districts had a ratio of 7J,U:ior '.'I'jnnnn average below the true ratio. The eight Wing district had a ratio of TJJ.V or l!'7 on an average below the true ratio. One of the doubtful district had M,itH, and Ihe other 7:i,H4.'i inhabitant, and they might be fairly considered as balancing each other. This would place the representation twelve Locofocos to nino Whig, and absorbing anexcessoflti,-1 inhabitant in Whig counties into Locofoco districts. Jl id any honesty been intended this ought to have been sat is factory, but il was not listened to a moment.During the Into session the Locofocos offered no sulnittuie and moved few amendment.
